Did he feel bad about walking away without saying anything? Yes.
Did he ever feel bad about being a jerk? He does, indeed.
Is he sorry he let his pride and ego get the best of him? Yes.
Is he sorry he let the woman he finally liked and felt at ease with go? He most emphatically did.
Meleek had never expected to be in the situation that he was currently in.
It's been weeks since he finally decided to follow his heart, was threatened by his mother to return after being accepted by Sarah again, and started looking for Sarah.
He knew where to go based on what he knew about her and what he learned from her live streams.
Meleek is a car racer who is very passionate about it. When he isn't racing, he is busy fixing and modifying race cars in his own garage.
This garage was well-known and had a diverse clientele with plenty of courage and cash to spare.
Meleek desired to be closer to Sarah while not abandoning his dream.
